Political Chatter

 It was mostly all election chatter last night (Sunday) on ARD and ZDF (Channel One/Two of public TV).  Between that 3-way chatter, and the analytical shows that came after that point....you got around 3 hours of talk.  

The polls after the three candidates did their thing?  Scholz of SPD clearly won (41 percent of the public said that).  CDU's Laschet (Merkel's team replacement) got around 27 percent of the vote), and the Greens Baerbock came in at 25 percent.

I gave it around 20 minutes of viewing....it wasn't worth it beyond that point.  Some food product show was actually more thrilling (featuring something called 'bacon-jam').

I think the general public is locked down at this point....spending any more money on advertisements or such....waste of time. 

Polling groups (from the last couple of days) generally all give 25 to 27 percent to the SPD Party, with the CDU somewhere between 19 and 22 percent.  

The real question left.....who makes up the coalition in the end, and just how harsh do things change over the next year or two?
